Knowledge is power
After seeing that even Google doesn’t show the right results for the most relevant technical lookup tables (LUTs) I decided to create the following list, if you want me to add any other brand, drop a line in the comments:
This is an update on a previous article: https://rodrigopolo.com/2024/04/04/fx30-ninja-v-prores-hq-how-to/ Almost everything in the article is valid, specially on how to setup the camera, but there is a small change that would make a world of difference and your life much easier. Instead of relying on the “Legalize” toggle, disable it and ignore it completely, then, […]
I have been a fan of Steve Chan’s channel, DSI Pictures for many years, and with the recent release of the EOS R6 Mark III, Steve shared a video showcasing the capabilities of the camera, including the 6.9K edited file and RAW footage, which open a window to see both, the capabilities of the camera, […]
Since I saw The Batman (2022) in theaters, I thought the image was far too dark, I could barely see the characters’ faces at all. At first, I assumed it was a problem with the theater’s projection. Then I bought the Blu-ray and watched it on an HDR TV, and it was still way too […]
There are tons of videos explaining how to grade iPhone HDR footage to SDR/Rec.709, and they’re all 100% wrong – because none of them address the real problem: IT’S APPLE HDR! The TL;DR is this: iPhone HDR videos are recorded in full-range (0-255), but DaVinci Resolve assumes it’s in video/legal range (16-235) by default. Here’s […]
When I saw that both OBS and Ecamm Live support Look-Up Tables (LUTs) on live video, I was quite excited, but I never had the chance to try them out until recently. And oh boy, it was quite disappointing, and it’s not really their fault, but rather the lack of information and documentation from all […]
In a previous article I showed how to achieve the best results recording in ProRes HQ externally with the EOS R and R5 in combination with the Atomos Ninja V, the workflow was something like this: I felt that enabling and disabling the “Legalize” toggle was a waste of time, so I decided to look […]
As is now Apple tradition, they’ve released iPhones that can record in Apple Log 2, yet they still don’t provide an official, easy-to-download LUT for converting to Rec.709. While a few opportunists sell over-priced LUTs, I decided to fix that. I built two free, high-precision conversion LUTs that take Apple Log 2 straight to Rec.709: […]
As I shown on a previous article, the EOS R5 and R6 are unable to output C-Log 3 with Cinema Gamut through HDMI, even after setting Cinema Gamut as color space on the camera, HDMI will always output Rec/BT.2020. This presents a challenge when using custom LUTs while using the Atomos Ninja V, for instance, […]
May 3, 2024 Update: It appears that this is a Canon made limitation, some users have reported that the C70 is able to output C-Log 3 with Cinema Gamut trhough HDMI. The EOS cameras that have Cinema Gamut as a Color Space option, cannot output Cinema Gamut trough HDMI, I have covered this issue several […]
